The 2010 Baltic Thread--Cruise Tips and Planning

[scrapycruiser]

anyone know where you pick up your Stockholm cards ? I have our voucher printed. I was hoping to pick them up near our Frihamnen port so we could use the card to ride the bus.

Is anyone from the 1st Baltic cruise planning to report on this board ?
Please !!!

Can't help you there, we had ours mailed to us! We ordered them on a Monday and they arrived in the mail on Friday!

On the cruise critic site I believe I read there is a ticket station at the port where you can get the tickets

Does anyone have an evening tour planned with Anastasia Tours in St. Petersburg for June 18th or 19th? My cabin mate and I would like to join up with another group to go on the Canal Boat trip. We have a day tour with Anastasia and won't get back to the ship in time for the Disney excursion but the rest of our group isn't really interested in going on the Canal Boat with Anastasia. If you don't already have an evening tour planned perhaps we could arrange one with our guide. The cost is very reasonable with 3 or more people in the group.

Just got back from seeing Robin Hood. We got all excited when we saw the Tower of London since we will be there in exactly 4 weeks from today!

Thank you !! I was hoping for that.



Does anyone know what night on the Baltic cruise will be the show Villians ?

Post this question on the meets thread for your sailing, you might get a better response over there.

The answer is buried somewhere in the last meets thread for our sailing. I guess a faster (and easier than searching that thread) response would be to call DCL and ask them.

We return from Paris on the 28th of June and I hope to be on the boards by the 29th, and Im sure there will be others posting TRs also, I just hope Im not too tired to remember everything!
We leave for England in 24 days and sail 4 weeks from tomorrow!

Someone on our cruise meet said DCL told them it would be Night 9. But I've also seen on this board someone was told it would be Night 7.

I'll be doing a trip report which might have some useful tips for you. Maybe we could do a question and answer thread as well.

I've got written down that it will be Friday 23 July - I think that was the info. orginally posted by AndrewDerek, but as with all things DCL "this is subject (& most likely will) to change"

Thanks for the tip but I posted over there 10 days ago with no replies. I was hoping maybe there was someone here that wasn't following that thread.

For those traveling to London before the cruise.

I have just had confirmation that you can upgrade your Big Bus ticket to a 2 day pass for an extra 10 pounds a person! this has to be done at the time of first use by one of their bus stop personel!

I think this is a great value and has made my plans for touring London easier & cheaper!

Maybe someone could set up a thread like the folks who did the EBTA did. I will be happy to particpate. I will have my laptop and will be checking the web because I have to keep connected with my office.

Hey David that would be a great idea. I will still be in London for a week or so. As a matter of fact, I plan to pick your brain on great things to do while there.

 

[Rogillio]

We are done...I think. We have hotel reservations, car reservations, private tours, HOPO vouchers, Palo res, excursions res and we have a good plan for each port including pre/post cruise activities. For 19 months we have thinking, ploting, planning, reading, reseaching and anticipating.

And at some point, you just have to say that a good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow and declare victory.

We weeks from today we will be boaring the Magic. I don't think I will ever again book something 20 months out!

I called DCL and they said right now they don't know which shows will be on what nights ???

What are the times for the shows. We have Palo the 2nd night ( formal night) at 7pm. I'm thinking that's going to cut into the show that night.

The show times more or less line up with dinner seatings. I know the late show is 8:30. Guessing the early show is something like 6 or 6:15.

How did you find this out - I was on the big bus site & didn't see anything
